sally and jack could be any number of people i know/grew up with, track best when played at a minor league hockey game during the fights or on a night when u think there's a good chance u will end up in county jail- how much can u take?
lyrics
Jonny Burke (Depan Music, BMI)
cracka jack got stabbed in the back
he said he'd take that any day over a heart attack
he bit his lip and he clinched his fist
he said do what you have to i must insist
he never was long for this world
he had a needle for a shield and a spiel for the girls
he'd steal for the stuff then he'd share it with me
he said a friend in need come on and let it bleed
salem sally wrapped in bows
with her painted nails and dirty clothes
spends her nights staring up at the stars
laying in the backs of souped-up cars
of all those guys that act so mean
they do any little thing to get in her jeans
like she let me once back in junior school
where i went in a boy and i left a fool
now i hang down at the redrum rockin
with my hard luck story and a hand full of pockets
just let me down easy when things get heavy
put me in the ground in a two tone chevy
next to cracka' jack and salem sally
leave you sweatin in the breeze and blowin in the alley
til' all your limbs start to tremble and shake
how much can you take until you break?
how much can you take until you break?
how much can you take until you break?
